5 Ways to be a Social Networking Smash

2. ShareIt’s not all about you. For every time you talk about your own stuff, talk about other people’s great content 8 times.

3. Be PersonalPeople gravitate toward people, not robots. Show what you’re really like. Just don’t be a freak.

4. AskIt’s amazing what you can accomplish in social networking, if you just give it a shot. Rejection by email doesn’t sting much.

5. Don’t Try to Game the SystemSeriously. Your “fool-proof method for gaining 5,000 Twitter followers in just two weeks” isn’t making others want to connect with you. It’s making us want to throw up in our mouths a little.
